Director : Terry Gilliam
Running Time : 118 mins
Doctor Parnassus (Plummer) runs a travelling side show with his daughter, Valentina (Cole). What he hasn’t told her is that on Valentina’s 16th birthday, Parnassus has agreed to trade her soul to the devil, aka Mr Nick (Waits), in return for eternal life. In order to prevent this from happening, Parnassus comes up with a new deal – whoever can seduce five souls in his Imaginarium first wins Valentina as their prize.
It isn’t just the visuals that make this an appealing movie, it is also the performances of all the actors involved, especially relative newcomers Andrew Garfield and Lily Cole. Those who might be wary of Gilliam’s style (personally I disliked Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas) can sit back and relax as, in this case, his manic haphazard visuals actually work.
